Guest blogger Sara Noble: Fabric Finds

[vc_row][vc_column][vcex_heading text=”Guest blogger Sara Noble: Fabric finds” tag=”h2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]From Sara:  Fabric is one of those things that can quickly transform a room from drab to fab in no time.  High-end designs are easily accessible to the general public and reupholstering a piece with good bones makes all the sense in the world.On my recent NYC trip I had the chance to hit many showrooms and see large samples of the best fabrics.  These fabrics are often my jumping off point for a project.  You can find a paint color to match anything but finding the perfect mix of colors or pattern in a fabric is more difficult to do.

In case you missed it, we have partnered with Sara Noble and the Noble Designs team!  Sara will be guest blogging for us each month on things like up-to-date design trends, decor and more.  We’re excited to pair up with one of the best designers in town!  Sara has been designing for lucky Kansas Citians for over 16 years and has grown her company to include a team of five designers plus additional staff.

Fabric is versatile

From changing the look of a piece of your favorite chair, sewing pillows to creating statement wall pieces, there’s no limit to the way you can use fabric in the world of interior design.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1327″][vc_column_text]

Fabric Drapes

Drapes are my probably my favorite application.  It’s hard to beat good, well-made panel drapes.  They are classic and dramatic, while framing the view and warming the space.  For a more subtle use (and definitely more cost effective) you can make a pillow.  Using one fabric to tie in all the colors of a space is great way to create a cohesive look.

Fabric Walls

For those that are really daring, cover your walls in it!  It’s hard to use too much.  What’s great about working with a decorator or designer is they can sample and preview the fabrics.  Therefore, you can play with options before committing to putting the room together.  It’s the whole “try before you buy” scenario, and it’s wonderful![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

8 Essential Gadgets for Your Smart Home Part 2

Smart homes and the gadgets within them are all the rage. What are the “must have” smart home gadgets? If you’re building a home or upgrading your current setup, you might be interested in our list, curated from the editors of PC Mag and CNET.  You’ll want to read Part 1 of this post to see the first four essential gadgets on our list!

How Gadgets Make a Home “Smart”

A smart home, at its basic level, is a home equipped with electronic devices, lighting and even temperature regulation.  These gadgets can be controlled remotely, by phone and/or computer. Smart Home USA gives us an even more specific definition:  “A Smart Home is one that provides its home owners comfort, security, energy efficiency (low operating costs) and convenience at all times, regardless of whether anyone is home.‘Smart Home’ is the term commonly used to define a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio and video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet.Installation of smart products give the home and its occupants various benefits — the same benefits that technology and personal computing have brought to us over the past 30 years — convenience and savings of time, money and energy.Most homes do not have these appliances and systems built into them. Therefore the most common and affordable approach is for the home owner to retrofit smart products into their own finished home.”

Smart Doorbells

A good video doorbell might set you back anywhere from $100 – $250. They are well worth it, and Ring seems to have the lion’s share of the market. Video doorbells are an easy way to provide peace of mind against home invasions, package thieves and even unwanted solicitors.  These devices typically rely on Wi-Fi to stream live video to your phone. They use cloud storage to house the archived video clips.  Another popular, mid-range priced doorbell is SkyBell.

Smart outlet plugs- a great gadget

The editors from PC Mag have their clear pick, and their words sum it up best.  “…the $29.99 iHome iSP6X SmartPlug comes pretty close. It lets you easily control gadgets and appliances from your smartphone while delivering an unparalleled level of third-party smart home integration. Not only does it support Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, but it also works with Apple HomeKit, Nest, Samsung SmartThings, and Wink. It lacks energy monitoring, but makes up for it with robust scheduling options, an intuitive app, and painless installation.”Another great contender is the Belkin WeMo Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plug.  It also boasts Alexa and Google Home compatibility, which are two gold standards you want to look for with almost any smart device.

Flood Sensor

If your basement is prone to getting water, or you just want to be “in the know” in the case the unthinkable happens, a flood sensor might be for you.  The way leak and flood sensors work is pretty straightforward.  Most have 2 or 3 metal probes.  When they come in contact with water, increased conductivity is detected, setting off an alarm.  Many detect temperature, humidity levels and more.  D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor is one that consistently rises to the top.

Smart Vacuums

Get past the sticker shock of a $300-$500 vacuum, and a smart vacuum might be your favorite gadget yet.  Things you might want to look for in any smart vacuum:  long battery life, manual steering, app control, and Amazon Alexa compatibility. Don’t overlook the obvious; make sure you get a strong clean from your robot!  The Ecovacs Deebot N79S is relatively affordable and does these things.  iRobot also makes several models, one of which shoots water onto the floor, simulating a mopping effect.Whatever you choose, it’s a good idea to stick to established brands with solid track records.  Read those product reviews and do your research!  Check out Part 1 where we reviewed the first four essential smart home gadgets!Looking to build or buy a new home that is “smart” through and through?  Give us a call today!

5 Top Trends for Basement Design in 2018

If you’ve got children (especially teenagers) then you well know that everyone likes a bit of privacy.  Some like to spread out in the basement, and have their own space to plug in, tune out and unwind.  Maybe your family just grew by a set of in-laws who moved in, or a recent college graduate who you thought was officially on their own only to return!Any of these scenarios might have you contemplating a basement remodel.  You might even be finishing the basement as part of a new construction.  Either way, we’ve poked around and thought we’d share some of 2018’s top trends when it comes to basements.Rewind a few years, and a basement remodel was basically done to add storage.  Maybe the remodel added on another bedroom (or pseudo-bedroom) or created a toy room or game room.  Today’s basements and lower levels are far more functional, featuring usable space that even adds value to a home in the process.  Here’s what is trending for this year:

Basement Theater/Media Rooms

In general, you have two options.  You can enclose a theater or media room, making almost a mini movie theater.  The other option is to have a more open TV space.  The open space is obviously more casual and more cost-effective.  It’s a good option if your kiddos are smaller and you don’t necessarily want them out of your sight when they’re watching TV!   A theater room is a great upgrade to a basement and can include everything from a HUGE projection screen to reclining seats, surround sound and custom lighting.  If theater’s not your thing, game rooms are also big!

In-Law Suites

For in-laws that visit often, or have become permanent fixtures in your home, an in-law suite might be a good investment.  At the basic level, you’d want to include a nice bedroom and on-suite bathroom.  Have the space and budget?  Include a kitchenette and even a reading nook or small study.  As our parents live longer and many choose to age in place, an in-law suite is a great optino for many families.

Open Concept, Lots of Public Spaces

Open concept is exactly what it sounds like:  open spaces with very few walls separating living spaces.  Many homeowners choose to go open concept in the main living areas, and then continue that to the basement.  A plus for smaller basements is that you don’t lose valuable floor space by creating lots of walls.  You can maximize usable space while making a modern, open feel.   As an extension of this, many people choose to carry the same finishes through to the basement.  If they’ve gone with an espresso hardwood or glazed cabinetry upstairs, they carry that through to the basement.  The end result?  The basement feels like the rest of the house, not an afterthought.  Many choose to forego the basement door and just have an open staircase going down.

Home Gym

People have always been on board with using the basement to work out and store exercise equipment.  Some are even taking the gym concept a bit further and creating mini spas.  We’ve seen infrared saunas and shower areas installed expressly for use in the exercise area.  As with any areas, the sky is the limit when deciding how luxurious you want to go…and what the budget will allow!

Multi-use Spaces

We’ve seen lots of areas that are multi-purposed for busy families.  For example, an area with a large built-in counter could double as a craft room and a homework nook.  People like convertible spaces so they’re not “locked in” to having one thing in one place.  Convertible spaces are good for resale, as the space allows a potential buyer to envision her “stuff” there.*image courtesy of Just Basements / Houzz
